The Boehm guys claim that garbage collection can be a significant performance win for workloads involving large numbers of small objects, as compared to C++ new / delete - especially in multithreaded environments.
AFAICS, you can have an implementation of delete where "delete p" simply
calls
the destructor of the object pointed to by p and then passes p to an
internal
garbage collector that will reclaim the memory in due time. This way you
have
determinstic resource liberation *and* GC speed.
My point behind this is: you can have memory management as fast as any
GC can achieve and still retain RAII style. No need to force users to
resort to GC for
performance's sake.
